Oct 2, 2009 Can. Pours a very dark brown, which kind of does resemble cola, with a red tint. Small quickly diminshing off white head. Aroma is licorice, chocolate, coffee with some roasted malts, spice and slight alcohol notes. Flavor is a nice balance of roasted malts and sweet caramel flavor with spicy, warming finish. Very good beer, esp. the best I’ve ever had out of a can!

Feb 15, 2007 Its about time that the Can gets some respect. Strong notes of Caramel, toasty coffee, mild cocoa, and lots of malty flavor. It hits you hard. perfect for a night cap.

Jun 24, 2007 Pours a dark brown with a small spotty head. Good lacing. Aroma is definitely heavy on the peaty and smoke aspects. Traces of caramel and toast. Flavor is better balanced with deep chocolate flavors and more caramel, but the presence of smoke and wood is still there. Finishes with a deeper and more well rounded wood taste, followed by a linger earthy buttery hop flavor in the mouth. The best part of this beer is how smooth the flavors are. I thought the peat was too pokey in the aroma, but the chocolate notes round it very nicely in the taste. The beer feels a little light, but it loses no fullness for it.

Apr 3, 2006 The best beer by far I have ever had in a can. I would venture to say even better if it came in a bottle. Pours a deep brown with a slight tan head. Flavor is nice and malty, with nice malt hints. Aroma is also malty with some caramel sweetness to it.

Jan 10, 2008 12 oz. can from Plaza Liquor - Pours a clear brown color with a one and a half finger thick light tan head. Nice lacing. Has a lightly smoked malt aroma. Perhaps peat? Flavor is nice and malty but not sweet. Smooth mouthfeel with no lingering aftertaste. One of the better Scotch ales I’ve had.

Sep 28, 2006 pint at Taco Mac SS - Aroma is chocolate malt, toasted toffee and carmel. Pours deep brown with a medium head and great lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is creamy and smooth. A very tasty scotch ale.

Apr 6, 2009 This dark brown ale poured from can to thistle with a decent beige head and a smoky caramel aroma. This is a good example of a scotch ale, with plenty of peat and roasted malt flavor and some chocolate notes.

Apr 8, 2007 Nice. From the can it pours a dark umber body with a slender khaki head. It has an aroma of rich earthy malt, chocolate, alcohol, old wood, dark juicy fruits, and nuts. A touch of burnt brown sugar and a hint of toffee blend into the flavor along with the elements present in the nose. I’m a hop-head, to be sure, but I enjoy a richly malty drink that’s brewed this skillfully. This is my third beer from this brewery, and I think we need Oskar Blues distributed in the Chicago area! <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?
